The '/int/craft Dark Age' is a period that spanned the latter half of 2016 which saw a decline in interest for the server and stagnation in the community.

Since its founding in 2015, /int/craft had seen 16* iterations in relatively quick succession. Veteran players by mid-2016 were simply burnt out from playing. Many skype groups and other communities that had formed around /int/craft now even detested it, refusing to play for a variety of reasons including decline of roleplay, increase in pvp competition, and a general apathy for its fleeting nature.
